Wenger rules out his move on Cabaye

Arsene Wenger is not
planning to renew his interest
in Newcastle midfielder
Yohan Cabaye during the January transfer window.
The France international, who played in the 1-0 defeat
to Arsenal at St James' Park on Sunday, was one of a
number of summer targets for the Gunners, who had
hoped to land the former Lille man in a £10 million
deal.
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew dismissed the offer as
"disrespectful" at the time and Wenger is not looking
to bolster his midfield options despite being in a
strong position to challenge for the Premier League
title.
"No, we don't look for midfielders," Wenger told Sky
Sports News. "Today we did not have [Mesut] Ozil,
we did not have [Aaron] Ramsey who stayed at home,
but we still had three good midfielders and I still had
Arteta on the bench.
"There is no real need in there."
Olivier Giroud scored the only goal of the game in a
victory which ensures Arsenal will end 2013 top of the
Premier League table.
But Goal understands the Gunners are looking for
competition for Giroud in January as Wenger chases a
first league title in a decade.
